Which is better, VNIT Nagpur or IIIT Allahabad, for the ECE branch?

One of my acquaintances has a better opinion on the same. He says that if you opt to take admission at IIIT Allahabad, then you are more likely to have better opportunities in the IT field. Mostly, the students of ECE are thoroughly engaged in coding and are known to study ECE because of reasons that center around only graduating. While, on the flip side, in VNIT Nagpur, the students pursue ECE because they are interested in it. However, the placements of IT field are more likely to surpass the number of placements seen in ECE fields. This is because the core hardware companies relatively do not share the same amount of trust with the freshers. If you want to obtain a better salary package after graduating from a B.Tech course, then going for IIIT, Allahabad can be a superior option. While, if you relevantly want to pursue your career in most of the core ECE companies, then it is suggested that you opt for VNIT, Nagpur. Yet, here is a brief data about the overall placement, course fees and more about both the institutes, Intitutes IIIT, Allahabad VNIT, Nagpur Course Fees (1st Year Fees) 1.65 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) 1.49 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) Average CTC INR 20.83 LPA Rs 3.3 LPA Highest CTC INR. 43 LPA INR. 22 LPA Top Recruiters Adobe, VISA, Paytm, Amazon, Flipkart, Arista Networks, Cisco Systems ACC Limited, Amazon, Aarti Industries, Capgemini Technology Services Ltd., Goldman Sachs However, in most cases, 10-15% of students choose ECE companies, but ever since software companies have become high-paying, several students tend to rather opt for an IT job profile.

VNIT ranks among the Top 5 NITs, necessitating a rank below 6000 for entry. The ECE department boasts a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, with research-active professors, many holding PhDs from premier institutions.

The Computer Science department sees nearly 100% placement, with average packages of 18-20 LPA and the highest at 64 LPA.

Life at VNIT

The fees for the final semester of B.Tech in our college is a total of 68,475 . Internet and computer maintenance fee - 375 Tuition fee - 62500 Training and placement fee - 200 Industry institute interaction fee - 150 Convocation fee - 750 Development fee-1500 End semester examination fee -500 Student activities fee- 625 Sports fee -1250 Registration fees-250 Library fee-375 This is the fees for a general category student. Now for SC/ST the tuition fee is waived off. And if you are from OBC or low income then on submitting the income certificate your fee can get reimbursed but it takes a lot of time.

My life at VNIT in a nutshell

I have entered this college through DASA quota. It's a different quota for students in abroad. It's a good opportunity for people like us to join a prestigious NIT like VNIT. Is really worth it. There are numerous scholarships available here.
